This summer, Professor and Chair Mark Del Mastro accepted the position of associate provost for curriculum and academic administration in the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. Hispanic Studies now has a new chair, Professor Mike Gómez, a graduate of The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA and of Boston University. Professor Gómez arrived at the College of Charleston in 2003, and since then he has taught classes in Hispanic Studies relating to his various areas of research—the intersection of literature, science and philosophy—as well as outside the department, as part of the Honors Western Civ team. 

Michael Overholt from the Teaching and Learning Team had the privilege of sitting down with Chair Gómez and finding out more about the man behind the helm of the largest and most comprehensive undergraduate Spanish program in the Southeast.
